Ireland-based Jazz said it will ask the FDA to withdraw Zepzelca’s indication for second-line small cell lung cancer. Jazz said the decision followed the failure of Zepzelca monotherapy to improve overall survival compared with other chemotherapy in the Phase 3 LAGOON trial. Jazz added that second-quarter Zepzelca sales rose 42% year over year to $106 million (approximately 150.7 billion won).
